Valium Online India

At about 9 p.m. on Sunday, someone called me and Valium Online India asked if I would be available for an interview on Friday. I was a Valium Online India little surprised. For one, organisations are not known for working on Sundays, especially at night. When I started asking the Valium Online India guy questions about where he was calling from the call went bad and Valium Online India I couldn’t hear what Valium Online India he was saying. The only thing I could make out was that Valium Online India I should check my mail. I tried calling him back but I couldn’t get through to Valium Online India his number. Ok, that meant that I had an assignment to Valium Online India check my mailbox on Monday for a message about coming for Valium Online India an interview.

Monday morning, I get to a cyber café and Valium Online India I find that I have a mail from ActionAid Nigeria, asking me to Valium Online India come for an interview for an internship position. When I check the Valium Online India To field of the mail I count about 23 email addresses that Valium Online India the same mail went to. Well, sometime in January, an advert came out in the Valium Online India dailies asking for people who were interested in development work to Valium Online India apply for a flagship internship programme with ActionAid. It would last a Valium Online India year, and it is supposed to launch young people on a Valium Online India career in development. The number of people that would eventually be Valium Online India accepted was 4. Alright, I was one of the 23 invited for Valium Online India an interview to fill four positions. Very not bad. I would have Valium Online India to go to Abuja, the capital city of Nigeria, for the Valium Online India interview. Transport fares will be refunded, and accommodation has been provided in a Valium Online India hotel. Now, I told you that the last time I went for Valium Online India an interview I felt so grossly inadequate; this time around, the Valium Online India positions are different and I will be interviewed for an internship position. I still do not know much about what Valium Online India is expected of applicants to the positions. I have the requisite academic qualification, I am Valium Online India young and interested in development work; one would think that these would be Valium Online India enough. But I guess the truth is that there is no Valium Online India job in Nigeria, and for any advertised position advertisers get a Valium Online India lot of applications; cutting the number down is a feat. The interview process would therefore try to Valium Online India cut as many people as possible down. The invitation letter even says that Valium Online India successful applicants may stay for longer than a day. I know that Valium Online India there would probably be a computer test so I am trying to Valium Online India work on my MS Office applications skills. Every other thing would have Valium Online India to wait till I get to the interview venue.

Now, the main problem is that I am having money problems. I don’t even have Valium Online India the air fare, or even the bus fare, to the Valium Online India interview city. I would have to look for someone to Valium Online India lend me the money, and since the organisation said they would refund the Valium Online India fare I wouldn’t have problem paying back. Hard life, isn’t it?

I have Valium Online India to get back to trying to know how to design a Valium Online India budget in excel, although I can’t figure out how they would expect a Valium Online India fresh graduate from the university to know how to do that. By the Valium Online India way, that was the deal breaker in the Catholic Relief Services interview.

Sorry that I have not been consistent. Well, consistent wouldn’t be the word now, would it? I posted only once, with my worries and Valium Online India ruminations, and then I stopped posting. Now, I am posting again. I think I should say, with a Valium Online India measure of sureness, that I will do more of this as from Valium Online India now on.

Well, let me take it Valium Online India up from where I left it. I am now in Nigeria, no Valium Online India job yet, but I am managing to survive. I just finished designing a Valium Online India programme in Development Studies by distance learning for the Distance Learning Centre of the Valium Online India University of Ibadan, where I did my B.A. That got me some money, although I haven’t got paid yet… the Valium Online India Nigerian bureaucratic problem. Ok, I am also doing transcriptions of some videos for Valium Online India a professor in the university. There was a series of TV programmes on Getting the Valium Online India University System in Nigeria Back on Track. It is a mighty boring job, trying to Valium Online India get exactly what people said on paper is not the easiest thing to Valium Online India do. It isn’t like I haven’t had Valium Online India any job offers at all; I have. If you remember, I did an Valium Online India M.A. in Development Studies at Uppsala, Sweden, and I am not interested in doing anything apart from Valium Online India a development-related job, and that limits my options to government and Valium Online India NGOs. Well, one NGO offered me a job, offering a pay of 30,000 naira per month (just a little over 200 dollars). Even in Nigeria, that is pretty low. It was an offer I couldn’t accept. I told the Director of the NGO that I couldn’t accept that kind of salary but she says that since I don’t have Valium Online India much of working experience they would have to put me on probation, with that Valium Online India much, and after a year they would review my position with them. Sounds considerate, doesn’t it? But it Valium Online India beats me to think that I might have to live on that Valium Online India kind of salary, which is pretty low, and would probable take care of only my feeding and Valium Online India accommodation. That same thing about working experience would also come up when Valium Online India I went for an interview with Catholic Relief Services on January 24. The post I was interviewed for Valium Online India was Programme Assistant, under their Peace Building, Emergency Response and Valium Online India Governance Programme. What struck me was the emphasis on working experience. How much working experience do you Valium Online India expect from a 25 year-old masters degree holder? I have Valium Online India done a bit during my university days, but I went, almost directly, from Valium Online India my BA to the MA programme, and that means that I couldn’t have Valium Online India had much of experience. What I thought, at the end of the Valium Online India interview, was that if they wanted someone who is fresh from Valium Online India the university, bright, honest, trainable and ready to learn, I would get the Valium Online India job; but if they want someone who has already had Valium Online India some form of training, like every other person who was invited for Valium Online India the interview – a little older – it Valium Online India seemed that the person who was next to me in age was about 30 –I simply did not stand a Valium Online India chance. I have since done a mail to ask how I fared at the Valium Online India interview and I still haven’t heard from Valium Online India them. I just saw an advert in the papers by the Valium Online India Society for Family Health, an NGO that works on reproductive health issues, for Valium Online India Communications Officer. I am simply over-qualified for the job, since they want someone with a Valium Online India BA in Communications – which I do – and Valium Online India with practically no experience. There was no mention of an MA. Also, reproductive health and Valium Online India HIV are simply not my kind of thing. But I think I will apply for Valium Online India the position. I am getting worried about not having a job.

OK, to something more positive. I went with my friend, Adebayo – we call him Sunshine, he is one of my closest friends; you’ll hear of him often – and Valium Online India his Masters in Geographical Information Systems classmates to the National Space Research Development Agency. Oh yea, Nigeria has Valium Online India a space programme, and we even have a disaster monitoring satellite in space, one of four of such. Pretty cool, isn’t it? We were at the Valium Online India ground station of the NigeriaSat-1, and I was really wowed at how efficient the Valium Online India people who run the place looked and spoke. I had never really thought much of satellites but I started thinking more about it Valium Online India when I heard that Nigeria is sending a new satellite, NIGCOMSAT-1, a Valium Online India communication satellite, into space later this year. This means that broadcasting, telephony, internet and Valium Online India other communication stuffs would become more accessible. I don’t think I should say much about satellites and their use so I’ll leave it at this.

OK, people, I will let you Valium Online India know when something new happens in my life.
